Paczkowski re-kindles rumors of a slimmer side-bezel iPad (one that looks like the iPad Mini does but that’s got a 9.7-inch screen), and rumors of the iPad Mini’s display getting the high-resolution Retina treatment. The latest scuttlebutt was that these iPad Mini displays may be in short supply, so it’ll be interesting to see what the launch date would be for the new iPad Mini and how easy (or hard) it’d be to get.

No word on the event’s location – Paczkowski guesses either Apple HQ or the oft-used Yerba Buena Center, but rules out the California Theatre in San Jose, where the iPad Mini was unveiled last year.
